5 Iranian Nano Journals Listed in JCR 2024
The annual Journal Citation Reports (JCR 2024) was published in July by Clarivate Analytics. This report contains citation information and rankings of over 21,000 scientific journals from 113 countries in 254 subject areas. There are 161 Iranian journals in this list, among which 5 specialized journals in the field of nanotechnology have achieved an impact factor.
At the top of the list of 161 Iranian journals is the Journal of Nanostructure in Chemistry affiliated with Islamic Azad University, Shahr-e-Quds branch, with an impact factor of 7.9. The journal is classified in the following three subject areas in the first quartile (Q1); nanoscience and nanotechnology with a rank of 34 out of 147, chemistry, multidisciplinary with a rank of 41 out of 239, materials science, multidisciplinary with a rank of 88 out of 460.
Four other Iranian journals in the field of nanotechnology that are listed in the JCR 2024 include International Nano Letters with an impact factor of 4.0 (Islamic Azad University’s Kermanshah branch), Nanomedicine Journal with an impact factor of 1.7 (Mashhad University of Medical Sciences), the Journal of Nanostructures with an impact factor of 1.3 (Kashan University), and International Journal of Nano Dimension with an impact factor of 1.1 (Islamic Azad University’s Ton-e Kabon branch).
Official figures said in November that Iran’s exports of nanotechnology products in the past Persian calendar year (ended on March 19) increased 110 percent compared to a year earlier.
Iranian producers exported $145 million of nanotechnology products in the mentioned year, according to the official figures.
Iran had exported $69 million worth of nanotechnology products on March 21, 2022, to March 21, 2023.
The total value of Iran’s nanotechnology products in the past year stood at $1.62 billion, of which about 91 percent was sold in domestic markets and only nine percent was exported.
Also, the sales of nano-based products in Iran in 2023 increased by 104 percent compared to 2022.
The nano-coating technologies, nano-composites, and nano-catalysts accounted for the major share of the domestic market.
